  • Hard News: It would be polite to ask,

    if the Aussies found `kokoda trail white devils' candy in Japan

    Well, given that this is freely available in the dairy section of the average Australian supermarket, I think they'd be on somewhat shaky ground....

  • Hard News: Veitch,

    they're unlikely to be taking home much more than $100k themselves

    I suppose I'm the only person 'round these parts who thinks that's quite a lot of money?

    Righto then. As you were. :)

    Oh, you're welcome to join us Danielle (joiiiin usssssss).

    There's just that small matter of:

    four years of tertiary study, and requisite experience

    Or, in my case, completely requalifying in a totally different profession after my three years of tertiary study while working a full-time job, and starting again on the bottom rung of the ladder (rewind five years of experience).

    And still not earning 100K (I plead poverty, m'lud).

    Paid the cost to be the boss
    I paid the cost to be the boss

  • Hard News: Veitch,

    For anyone who wants a reasonably in-depth layman's look at the inner workings of a jury trial, I recommend 'the juryman's tale'.
    (UK crown court perspective).

  • Up Front: Amazons Are Not the Only Fruit,

    Y'all probably saw this already, but just in case.

  • Hard News: Veitch,

    I'm lost for words at the mentality behind that column.

    I bought both sunday papers (fool me once....).

    Somehow I ended up reading the Ratshit Saunders account of the day in court, which contained a sentence that went something like: 'didn't Kirsten look sooo adorably cute in her little secretaries outfit'.

    After that, the rest of the papers were covered in my spew, which kinda made the Paul Holmes column unreadable.

    Dwarfs (or Little People) are people who are of short or dwarf stature for specific genetic reasons.

    Dwarves-with-a-v are the hi-ho-hi-ho-very-fast-over-short-distances fantasy-only variety.

  • Hard News: Veitch,

    poo themselves relentlessly

    Isn't this what they do day in, day out on our televisions, in our newpapaers and in our magazines anyway?

    Whaddaya mean, it wasn't metaphorical?

    Although by the same token I was hoping for more tales of debauchery. What's with this civilised and urbane nonsense?

    Things did get a bit out of hand when the hot-buttered dwarves escaped from their cage, but we managed to round them up fairly quickly.

    Well, that was fun. Alcohol is a great social lubricant.

    Craig - I can confirm that my breasts are all natural, just in case there was any lingering doubt.

    Linda and all the other lurkers: come, join usss......there will be no more struggle or pain. All you have to do is close your eyes and go to sleep. To sleeeeeeeeep......

    'K

    Firstly - if I don't immediately recognise people and remember their entire posting history at a glance, please be patient. It's one thing discussing things on screen, and another in real life.

    Secondly - if anyone lets any 'BSG' or 'wire' spoilers slip, then there will be blood.....
